A title so cunning you could brush your teeth with it. You see, this wonderfully liveried aircraft is a Lockheed Martin LC-130H ‘Hercules’, only it’s fitted with skis instead of wheels.

We presume this means it’ll talk incessantly about its gap year in Val-d’Isère with other ski-planes at dinner, and spend most of each February drunk in a cabin at the bottom of a mountain.

It looks great though, and there’s more of the Hercul-skis to see at Evan M’s photostream. Click the link above to join us being drunk at apres-ski. Did we tell you about our gap year in Val-d’Isere?
